Heavenly Venerable Hao smiled. "The mere command of water, fire, wind, and thunder does not count as divine arts. You have boundless strength, yet you do not know where true divine arts come from. True divine arts come from the Dao! I was wounded by Heavenly Venerable Mu and lay on a sickbed for a thousand years, and at last I have understood the source of his power. His divine arts have entered the Dao!"
Divine Emperor Langxuan's eyes went wide. He murmured, "Divine arts entering the Dao..."
"Just so."
Heavenly Venerable Hao stepped in front of him. "Divine arts entering the Dao. You have learned the heavenly palace cultivation methods I taught you, but that is still not enough. You must also understand the essence of divine arts—and to understand the essence of divine arts is to understand the essence of the Dao. Only then can you fully master your own power. Why was Niu Ben able to trounce the ancient gods? Precisely because his divine arts had entered the Dao, because the power he wielded was so immeasurably great that he could break through the suppression the ancient gods laid upon him! And we, too, can possess such power!"
A mighty confidence showed on his face. "These thousand years, as I lay on my sickbed, I comprehended little by little. Now I feel that I am very near to entering the Dao."
He turned around. "My father has ordered me to descend to this world and establish a heavenly court of the ancient gods. I need your help. Aid me, and I will teach you how to enter the Dao! If we demigods grasp divine arts that have entered the Dao, then the age belonging to the ancient gods will soon be far behind us."
Divine Emperor Langxuan was deeply moved. "Is entering the Dao truly so powerful? Then the five luminary ancient gods, going to hunt down Heavenly Venerable Mu..."
A knowing smile appeared on Heavenly Venerable Hao's face. "Heavenly Venerable Mu is strong, but not so strong that he can contend with the ancient gods. He is a pioneer of divine arts; I admire him greatly. But I can only watch him on his way to the Western Paradise."
